I got it wrong: seven writers on why they changed their minds

I got it wrong: seven writers on why they changed their minds | Nerdy Needs | Scoop.it
Our culture values certainty and dogmatism. We should all be more open about the times when we were wrong - and what made us reconsider. Here, from sex work to the Iraq war, seven writers confess all.
Deanna Dahlsad's insight:

New information & experiences out to bring about reconsideration; even if the new information does not change your mind. It's the evolution of thinking, the process of an open mind.

i thought this article was great since this talks about to not have fear on changing your thoughts to be yourself. even though you have fear just do it for you. even though you don't have strengths. i like the positive vibe in it.
